Make sure all system components are disconnected from the
mains before making or changing system connections!

Your 8000AP has four regular analogue stereo inputs -
and
. These are electrically identical and may
be used for any analogue stereo audio source.
There is a 5.1 analogue input,
for
connection of a multi channel SACD or DVD Audio player.
This input is a straight-line pass-through input. The output
appears unchanged at the 5.1 outputs of the 8000AP.
These inputs should be connected to a suitable line output on
the source component using quality, screened, RCA phono
interconnects.

(Left Back) and
(Right Back) outputs should be
connected to the appropriate line inputs of your AV power
amplifier using quality, screened RCA phono interconnects.
The
output should be connected to the line input of your
subwoofer using a high quality, well screened RCA phono
interconnect. Tale care not to run the interconnect parallel
with mains wiring and other potential interference sources.

8000AP can be configured to any multi-channel
combination, from stereo to full 7.1 output. The
The TAPE OUT is a line-level output of the currently selected
stereo analogue input. It is unaffected by the volume control.
This should be connected to the input of a suitable recorder.
The TAPE IN should be connected to the analogue output of a
recorder. If you have a three head recorder you can compare
the original and recorded sound during recording
Your 8000AP has three identical coaxial digital inputs -
(Digital Aux 1). These should be connected to the
SPDIF digital output on the source component using a quality,
screened, coaxial digital cable.

HDMI-DVI cables:
Your 8000AP has four optical inputs -
(Digital Aux 2). These
should be connected to the
TOSLINK output on the source component using a quality,
optical cable. All connections are electrically identical
The signal at
is an unmodified copy of the
currently selected digital source, i.e. it is unaffected by the
volume control or processing mode. It is not possible to route
an analogue source to the digital output. This should be
connected to a digital recorder such as a DAT or MD recorder.
There are two HDMI inputs. These should be connected via
an HDMI interconnect to the output of a DVD player or other
AV streaming device. They are identical.
The audio component of the HDMI input is stripped off and
routed through the processor. The processed output appears
at the analogue outputs of the 8000AP.
The HDMI output may be connected to an HDMI input on
your TV screen.
Apart from conducting the mandatory handshaking protocols
the video component of the HDMI signal is not processed by
the 8000AP. The video signal that appears at your TV is
entirely dependent on your DVD player or other source. To get
the best video result you should consult the handbooks of the
video source component and the TV.
HDMI interconnects carry very high freqiencies and levels of
information. For optimum results use high quality
interconnects and ensure that they are as short as possible.
A DVI enabled graphics card may be
connected to the HDMI input of the 8000AP. Likewise the
HDMI output may be connected to the DVI input of a
Computer monitor. In both cases a HDMI-DVI convertor will
be required. There are very real problems with computer
graphics cards and monitors when passing High Definition
Video signals. Even if they support HD, the lack of High
Definition Copy Protection (HDCP) circuitry in many products
means that HD signals will be blocked or downgraded to
standard definition video. If you are contemplating these
connections consult your manuals before proceeding.
